connection with the french company that last year operated on another part of the lucky boy group after malting making a visit to the propel properties ties it was decided to erect a concentrator of tons capacity at the ahe lucky boy mines and also secure a traction engine and train of seventy five tons hauling capacity to send the product to the railroad and smelter owing to the location of the mines on the eastern side of the snake range it is probable that the shipping point will be frisco utah until such time as there will be a market for lead ore and concentrates at ely the ore carries heavily in lead and also contains values in gold silver and copper and can be easily concentrated to make a clean product that will be granted a low rate at the smelters shelters sm elters and probably command a premium |
